Shell edging prog [ 05 -5+ 2 Stitch length: 1.5 mm Key: Pattern mirroring Shell edging provides nice trimming, especially on sheer, soft materials. Fold over the fabric edge once along the line which is to be decorated. During sewing, the blindstitches draw in the fabric edge at regular intervals, thus producing a shelledge effect. The stronger the needle thread ten sion, the more the fabric edge is indented (Fig. 2). Adding a wool thread of a different colour not only reinforces the edge, but also makes an attractive contrast trimming. Place the material under the needle so that it pro trudes far enough to allow the wide zigzag blind stitch to pass over its edge (Fig. 1). . ..• .• • .• .. 2
